Scenic spot introduction:

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, has world-famous operas, immortal historical buildings, and the Danube River flowing slowly through the city. It is known as the "Pearl of the Danube".

Attractions distribution:

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is crossed from north to south by the beautiful Danube River. The west bank of the river is called "Buda", which belongs to the old town and cultural center of Budapest, while the east bank is "Pest", which belongs to the new town and is now the city's commercial and administrative district. If the former is called "elegant prince" ( Royal Palace , and the mansions of the nobility are located in this area), while the latter can be likened to the "girl next door". More than 100 years ago, the two cities were peacefully "combined" to form Budapest, a romantic city known as the "New Paris of Eastern Europe".
When you come to Budapest, you can drive an antique car slowly across the elegant suspension bridge, and go to the bustling flea market to look for 19th-century royal antiques; when you are tired, go to a century-old shop to have a glass of 99-year-old wine with foie gras; then turn into a quiet street and go to a museum; then go to a famous coffee shop to while away the afternoon; under the sunset, take a leisurely walk along the river bank, listen to the violin music of street performers, and appreciate the Baroque buildings on both sides of the river with a faint yellow light along the way...
